Australia Bi-Modal Exhaust Updates

[Stinger Boy]

Looks awesome, nice choice.

Great minds think alike. Do you have the bi-modal exhaust fitted?

I first saw my Stinger in the holding yard, with the protective plastic still on it, back on the 25 february.

Stalker! Lol.

I had the bimodal exhaust on my paperwork, but because it was not available, i had it removed, i actually visited my dealership yesterday and heard it on a demo Stinger, quite happy with it, but leaving it for now.

It does give the car a whole new dimension having the exhaust regarding sound......but a bit costly I know. Doesn’t make the car go any faster!

23 December Dcb. I believe the first Aust stingers came in on the 11th or 12th October. Richard in Tasmania was the first dcb recepient. His vehicle is in the early gallery photos with Red nappa leather

Yep all good. Bit sore no food for two days only water then soup then light solids. Great way to lose a few kgs. Soon as I poop I’m outta here! Probably tues home. Great a not having a bag stuck to me like a leech.

Hoping you have a speedy recovery.

Passed on the Bi-modial exhaust to, heard it on the dealers car, jury still out. I like the Ark grip sound but i don't think theyve got the adaptive type yet.

Same here, i decided paint protection is more of a priority for now.

Anyone know what modes the exhaust system works in? Or have an electronic manual?

All except eco I think.

Sound is great between 1 to 4 and gearing down with paddles.

Not so noticeable in higher gears.

So how can we get the software changed so in custom you can have it open ALL the time and also in custom have the option to have closed ALL the time?

Has anyone had this issue?
I rang my insurance company (Budget Direct) on Tuesday to let them know that I've had the KMA Bi-Modal exhaust fitted amongst other accessories. I was informed that they had to forward it to their underwriter (Auto and General Insurance) because it's not on their option list. They got back to me today to tell me the underwriter will no longer be able to cover me as it's a modification,even though it's a KMA option and I have 7 days to seek alternative cover. I will get cover from other underwriters but this has really got me pissed, I've been with them for 6 years.
I also want to let others know to avoid someone having their claim/insurance refused because of it.

Didn't you have the bi-modal exhaust that is on the Kia Motors Australia website, which is classified as an accessory, not sure what you mean, that you have a bi-modal exhaust from KMA ( Kia Motors America)?? Do you mean Kia Motors Australia??

Just goes to show you that some Insurers wouldn’t have a clue.

It doesn’t make the car go any faster!

I’d be looking around to other companies like RACV, GIO or AAMI.

Yes, the Bi-Modal exhaust that is on the (Kia Motors Australia) website and is listed as an accessory, yet they call any change to an exhaust (including just the tips) a ‘modification’.

Yes, you are correct, im with AAMI and anything non factory is considered a modification, maybe even tinted windows, and Ceramic Coating, and of course Bi-modal exhaust.
